I'm playing with the QR barcode in PP Design. I can make it create the barcode just fine in some cases, but if the data I am encoding contains symbols (!@#$?, etc) the barcode fails to be created. This is a major problem for URLs that contain a query which are generally designated by '?'. Did I miss a setting? Thanks for any info you may have!

ZCameron,

PlanetPress supports alphanumeric QR Barcode, which includes:
digits 0 - 9; upper case letters A -Z; nine other characters: space, $ % * + - . / :

Any other characters would be in the Binary QR Barcode, and unfortunately, PlanetPress doesn't support it yet. Nor does it support the kanji/kana QR Barcode.

Regards,
Rapha
